III always AFFORDS us pleasure 70 know
that any in our community are pres
pering, but when we have real meri- !
torious friend who succeeds by dint OF
HE own energy and honesty, without
any influential surroundings, we deem
him worthy OF special mention. The
one wei have in our mind just now is
William ]. Lynes. He commenced
business few years ago Oh his own ac-
count, and soon thereafter made hap
py choice OF wife, who, by united
efforts, were soon ensconced in a beau
tiful home OF their own, and are now
jcurneying through life with happy,
congeniality OF spirit and purpose to
make the best Of it," Their cottage
home, just north OF Greenwood Gene
terry, is comfortable, convenient and at
tractive. May they have long lease OF
life in which to enjoy it.
Parties who have to buy milk can be
supplied from "Crossland Dairy" by
Milton Daniel e. Co. They have herd
OF twenty-five fine COWS, and supply
pure milk to customers. The dairy is
kept in excellent order, everything is
scrupulousIy clean, and the young man
who delivers it Is very polite and at
tentive to business.
Mrs. Wilcox, who recently purchas-
ed the John Neblett place, has moved to
it. Mrs. Wilcox came to the city to
have her children educated at our ex-
cellent public school. We welcome
her to Greenwood Avenue society.
We were asked, the other day, why
we were trying to get up items for the
CHRONICLE, when its position on GER
tain measures did not coincide with
ours, We answered, "have you a friend
whose opinions upon everything ex-
actly harmonic with yours ?" "Of
course not" said he. We agreed, then
1t were best to let others have and ex-
press opinions of their own--as they
were fully as honest in it as ourselves.
The average man thinks he could run a
newspaper better than it is generally
done. The majority Of such knowing
ones would run the business into the
ground IN little while.
Our highly esteemed citizen, Mr.
Len H. Smith, spent the holidays with
his family. He has gone back to Shell
by county to look after the interest o
the GAINESVILLE Hedge company.
We sincerely regret to state that Mis-
Birdie Bradley, daughter Of John Brad
ley, has returned home in, very feeble
health. Her modest, gentle disposition
and into igence has won her host o
friends, who would be rejoiced at he
restoration to health.
Milton Blair, worthy young mar
from Kentucky, has come to tn
city to attend the Howell schoo
He boards at Mrs. Brandau's.
When the residents OF our Avenu
get rich they will be supplied wit
water from the water-works, use tn
electric light, ride on the street cars
and put on metropolitan airs generally
- Well if we do not have all the privilege
enjoyed by the down towners, we hav
the advantage, so to speak, Of town an
country combined, and breathe pur
air, drink cistern water, burn coal o
atfifteen cents per gallon, raise GU
own garden sass; enjoy more sociabil
ty; worship God according to the di(
tates OF own conscience-all of whic
we think is good enough for poor iolk
and but few Greenwooders feel stuc
up about it either.
All who are matrimonially incline
and have arrived at the point when tt
services Of some competent and autho
lied person to snake them one, is r
quired, will find our very handsom
Squire Caldwell ever ready for sue
emergencies. 1t skeers him badl,
but he enjoys the fun equal to ar
o.her man. The Squire has not reques
ed us to "drum" for him, but our goo
ness of heart always makes us feel Ill
saying kind word to help fellc
mortal who is trying to rise i'll Il
world. Salute your BRIDE"
"A little nonsense now and then,
Is relished by-all sorts of men,"
So, when there is dearth of liter
in our locality, we will have to beg t
indulgence of your numerous and i
telligent readers if we grind out a lit
machine poetry, or attempt to gi
them a dissertation upon some o
struse, metaphysical, or Incompetent:
BILE subject. 1t will not be the first n
the last time they were disappointed.
Several clever young gentlemen, fro
the city, are attracted out this way We
